FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

MediaWiki Extension Registry Helper
The MediaWiki Extension Registry Helper is a tiny library that allows recursive loading of skins and extensions in MediaWiki.
Requirements
- PHP 5.6 or later
- MediaWiki 1.27 or later
Installation
Usage
In general dependencies on other extensions or skins should be specified in the
extension.json of your extension
[1].
If that is not possible (e.g. because they are conditional dependencies or
because your MediaWiki version does not support dependency requirements yet),
the methods of this helper may be used.
If your skin or extension depends on another extension, call
If your skin or extension depends on another skin, call
The paths to the extension.json/skin.json file may be ommitted. In this case
a path will be generated from the extension or skin name.
The methods of this helper class should only be called from the callback
function defined in your extension.json. If you call them later, e.g. from a
SetupAfterCache hook handler, the hook handlers of the recursively loaded
extensions may not get called.
(This is unfortunately not enforcable, as the respective property of ExtensionRegistry is not exposed.)
Be aware that this helper only ensures that extensions/skins are loaded. Due to
the inner workings of the ExtensionRegistry it cannot enforce loading in the
correct order. Particularly, if an extension or skin you depend on is already
queued for loading, it will not be advanced in the queue to be available.
This will commonly happen when both your extension and the extension it depends
on are loaded from LocalSettings.php, but in the wrong order.
